On October 1st, the experience store officially opened the trial experience of "The Last of Us".
There are still many players who are interested in "The Last of Us". After all, it is a game produced by Chen Mo, so there is a natural trust in it.
What players don't know is that the trial play is not just in the experience store.
Chen Mo has sent the full version of "The Last of Us" to major game media at home and abroad so that they can conduct game evaluations as soon as possible.
In fact, it's not that Chen Mo doesn't want to promote "The Last of Us". After all, this game is recognized as a masterpiece, and the so-called "born by a stepmother" absolutely does not exist.
However, this game is really not suitable for publicity in traditional ways, even if it is forced to publicize, the effect will not be very good.
For players, only after playing this game to the final ending will they truly understand the meaning of "magic work".
That being the case, there is no need for those cumbersome publicity methods, just post a publicity cg and it's over.
Of course, if there is no publicity at all, the sales will definitely not be good when it is released on the 15th. No matter how good "The Last of Us" is, the word-of-mouth of the players explodes, but it will take some time before it really becomes popular.
That's why Chen Mo handed over the full version of the game to the well-known game media in advance. He hoped that the game review manuscripts of the major media would come out before the game was officially released.
At that time, all players should be surprised, right
…
October 1st, morning.
As soon as the experience store opened, players queuing up at the door came in neatly, swiped their ID cards, and went to different floors.
The experience store has long had a very fixed group of players. Every holiday or when a new game is released, the number of people in the experience store explodes, so these players have already formed certain rules. They get up early every day and line up in order. Try it out, everything is still in order.
Chen Mo got up very early today, and was already sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor.
The first batch of players have already gone straight to the vr game experience area on the third floor. After all, Chen Mo's current games are mostly vr games, so the vr game experience area is also the most popular.
However, there are also many players in the PC and mobile game experience areas, and they will soon be full.
Among the players queuing up early, Chen Mo saw a familiar figure.
"Zhao Lei?" Chen Mo raised his head to greet him.
Zhao Lei was a little surprised: "Master, you still remember me, good morning."
Chen Mo smiled: "Of course I remember, it feels like you haven't come to the experience store for a long time, and I thought you left the imperial capital."
Zhao Lei shook his head: "It's a long story. Before the blind date, I happened to meet a girl I liked. After getting married, I was full of things. The child was born last month, so I was very busy. Today is a holiday, so take a break from your busy schedule. Come to the experience store to have a look .”
Chen Mo was a little surprised: "Already a father? Congratulations. In this way, I will send you a game later."
Zhao Lei smiled: "Hey, store manager, you are too polite. I will go up to play some games first. If I go late, there will be no room. Let's talk in detail when I come down."
Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, just go and play a new game, the trial game just started today."
Zhao Lei nodded: "That's for sure. I'm here this time for the new game. Even though I haven't been to the experience store for more than two years, I have been paying attention to your new game."
After Zhao Lei greeted Chen Mo, he went up to the third floor.
Zhao Lei is an office worker who often came to the experience store before, and he is also a typical Beijing drifter, with a lot of pressure in life. I also tried "Stanley's Fable" before.
However, he didn't come to the experience store for a long time afterwards. Chen Mo thought he had left the imperial capital. After all, life in the imperial capital was so stressful. Zhao Lei was in his thirties, so it was not a problem to keep drifting like this.
But to Chen Mo's surprise, Zhao Lei was married and did not leave the imperial capital.
It is conceivable that his usual life should be quite hard.
…
When Zhao Lei came to the third floor, he found that more than half of the game cabins were already occupied. In the elevator, he seemed to see two or three familiar faces, like an online anchor
When Zhao Lei often came here before, not long after the experience store moved here, there was only one vr game "Minecraft", and the "League of Legends" that ruled the PC side had not yet started development. At that time, Chen Mo was just a very ordinary b level designer.
In a blink of an eye, Chen Mo was already one of the top designers in the country, and he had developed many classic vr game masterpieces.
Even the experience store is full of new faces, and there are still many anchors.
Time flies.
Zhao Lei sighed a few words, found a game cabin and got in.
The login interface of the game cabin is the theme of "Uncharted Sea", and there are already many vr games in the game cabin, which are dazzling.
In the most prominent position, is "The Last of Us".
"This is the store manager's new game, try it out."
Zhao Lei chose to enter "The Last of Us" without much entanglement. After all, it was a new game.
…
enter the game.
Unlike other games, "The Last of Us" didn't have a login scene at the beginning, as if it entered the game scene directly, and it was pitch black.
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock..."
The very crisp and powerful clock ticking sounded in Zhao Lei's ears.
Then, the game screen appeared.
In front of Zhao Lei's field of vision, a little girl was lying on the sofa, apparently asleep.
It seemed that she was a little uncomfortable sleeping, and the little girl moved her arm under the pillow slightly.
There was the sound of the door opening next to it, and a middle-aged man walked in while talking on the phone, and the camera shifted in time.
"Tommy, he's the contractor, okay? I can't afford to lose this job. I know... we'll talk in the morning, okay?"
The light came on, the little girl woke up, and the middle-aged man sat down on the sofa.
The middle-aged man is worrying about today's work.
The little girl thoughtfully prepared a birthday present for him, a watch.
The father and daughter made a few jokes with each other. Although there were no particularly touching pictures, it made people feel very warm inexplicably.
Late at night.
The father picked up the little girl and went upstairs to sleep.
"Good night, baby."
The field of vision was fixed on the sleeping little girl, and the light gradually dimmed, indicating that a period of time had passed.
At this time, the bedside phone rang.
An inexplicable phone call, Uncle Tom was looking for the little girl's father, and then the phone hung up.
The little girl crawled down from the bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes, not quite understanding what happened. But she decided to go to her father first.
At this point, the camera automatically came to the back of the little girl, and the game started.
Zhao Lei was a little surprised: "This game...isn't it a first-person perspective? Is it a third-person follow-through perspective?"
At this time, Zhao Lei's field of vision was above the back of the little girl. This is a standard over-the-shoulder perspective, which is very common in many PC games.
However, in VR games, because the player's vision is wider and the player's sense of substitution needs to be enhanced, many games use the first perspective.
The "The Last of Us" developed by Chen Mo seems to be a bit retro in terms of the use of perspective.
